Introduction	It took many years to realize my passion for pastel painting and photography. I often made my own note cards and Christmas cards from my paintings and photos. My friends started asking me to make theirs and convinced me to advertise to others. Through word-of-mouth, I now make cards for my friends, their friends, my fellow art students, and many artists and art instructors. I have a studio which I visit as often as possible and on a beautiful day can be seen taking photos all over the place (and probably causing some near accidents). I continue to participate in a pastel art class once a week, which I seldom miss. I look forward to new creations and this therapy session each week.
